810 wireless charging shell?

[mjaiteh]

I'm in the midst of buying a Lumia 810 because of my desire to upgrade from my badly outdated HTC radar 4g, but I cannot find a wireless charging shell. Anyone know where I could buy one?

I have a feeling eBay is your best bet. T-Mobile apparently no longer carries them.

 

[mjaiteh]

I've found two on ebay $55 used and $76 new....

care to explain?

Do you have a Microsoft Store near you? They might still carry the 810 wireless charging shells, if you're lucky.

 

[mjaiteh]

Somewhat close to me, Thanks, I'll go check it out

Anyone else noticed how the price of the charging shells suddenly jumped after the update came out? Was lucky I won an auction just a few days before... hmmm, anyone else here contributing to the price inflation? LOL

Hmm, I didn't even think of that. Good observation!

Been monitoring it since I lost in the auction for a RED charging shell :excited:... I'm quite doubtful about how original is that item since no such color was officially launched as well as a GRAY shell, but then again maybe it was in the pipeline. Though hey, it's a RARE red charging shell! Lost by just $2 :unhappy:.... I settled for the gray shell :straight:

Both Grey and Red are there [original available]. I have my brother using Grey one with my old Lumia 810, while I sold Red to a friend just few days back.

I see... yay! I suppose I'm getting an original item! So T-mobile and Nokia just didn't publish it?

 

[ssapre]

Nope. That was the part I was frustrated over.... TMO reps even didnt know about "any such accessories" at least 3 stores near me !!

 

[JM_T]

Yeah it seems it was only publicized through a facebook post: More Nokia Lumia 810 Colors | Pocketnow
I'm drooling over the red shell, it's a nice matte red color. Oh dear, I think I'm having buyer's remorse now getting the gray. LOL. Hope I get to love it eventually when I see it.

 

[mjaiteh]

wait, where are these auctions? ebay.?

 

[JM_T]

Yup.... and now I just realized I lost not by $2, but by just $1.... :straight:

While we're at it, ATT had the wireless charging plates at 50% off

Beware. Bought what was supposed to be a CC 3063 black wireless charging shell on Ebay last week, and got a normal shell in the mail. The seller refunded my money immediately, but the frustration lingers.

After going to a number of T-Mobile and Microsoft stores with no luck I finally had to get one off of eBay. Someone was selling the cyan back with the black charging plate.
